After more than a year without major arrests involving the football program, LSU junior cornerback Jalen Mills of DeSoto, Texas, was arrested Tuesday night on a charge of second-degree battery, the Baton Rouge Police Department confirmed Wednesday morning.

Mills, a starter for the last two seasons, was suspended indefinitely from the football team later Wednesday, according to LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette. Mills was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish jail around 2 a.m. Wednesday and was still there awaiting bond shortly before 10 a.m. Wednesday.
